I made Rachel's Trifle from FRIENDS for Thanksgiving

[@doddleoddle]

THE PROOF WILL QUITE LITERALLY BE IN THE PUDDING

[@leepic9091]

Turns out the real treasure was the beef trifles we made along the way

[@jimiwalker920]

the fact that dodie likes it feels very dodie and I love that for her

[@Mireaze]

I just read this after the tastes like feet comment from Dan and my brain went "the fact that Dodie likes feet is very Dodie" and NGL... Yeah

[@bobthebuilderday6leader]

@@Mireaze very true.

[@HeyRowanEllis]

this made me so deeply enraged because the non beef bit looked so good

[@DanLayton]

It really was as well. If it makes you feel better I absolutely scraped around it and had a WONDERFUL evening

[@eternallyconfused]

"I'm going to use rum to soak my lady fingers" is such a wine aunt line and I'm stealing it.

[@emmafalconer6127]

Delighted to know that hazels stress response is to go hide in a corner to get away from the trifle from hell because big mood

[@laurenfitton5677]

dan saying he knows when he makes food it won’t go to waste because he’s got dodie, but i specifically remember dodie pushing cake off a plate of cream and then spooning the cream into her mouth

[@DanLayton]

That’s true but then I ate that…

[@laurenfitton5677]

@@DanLayton fair enough, daniel. fair enough.

[@doddleoddle]

HAHAH

[@moammonster_Jess_]

Learning that Dan is a Ross Geller apologist has permanently altered my brain chemistry. That video will need to bring the ✨heat✨ to convince me.

[@rfldss89]

Dodie just chowing down on it like it's just the most normal thing in the world is absolutely amazing.

[@mrosean3396]

This is it. This is your magnum opus. This is perfection, nothing else compares. Bravo sir, absolutely stunning.

[@nudgificator]

I've never understood how, if she went from trifle to shepherd's(/cottage) pie in the recipe book, she ends up with the top layers back to trifle? You'd think it would be topped with mashed potato.

[@DanLayton]

That has absolutely been my issue for years, I completely agree

[@kathrinwolf8514]

What if Rachel lied and she WANTED her friends to suffer??

[@ayushibhanja]

⁠i always assumed it went repeat steps x-y, so she flipped back to the trifle recipe, but upon further thought, you don’t actually build layers in a shepard’s pie, do you, it’s kind of a one meat layer, one potato layer and done sort of deal isn’t it.

[@zone6440]

I just figured that with the pages stuck together the middle of the trifle page was torn but the top and bottom was fine

[@anfisachern8570]

good that you’re staying authentic to the recipe. because that makes the recipe real

[@dawnhazell2697]

And if it's not real, it's not right.

[@DanLayton]

Precisely correct

[@skel_pop3511]

im very happy to finally confirm that dodie is the joey in you friend group and hazel is the ross.

[@xzonia1]

Does that make Daniel Monica because they both cook?

[@thedragon6480]

I see Hazel more as the Chander of the group

[@caitlinnicol7663]

Of all the times you've baked on this channel, why is THIS the time it worked?

[@DanLayton]

Hahahahahahahahahaa oh goodness me

[@hannahkelly7913]

just had an absolutely visceral reaction to hearing “if it’s not real it’s not right” for the first time in about two years

[@bobthebuilderday6leader]

Gosh, me too. I think I just had a mental whiplash.

[@DoraG99]

I still want to know how Rachel managed to put appropriate trifle stuff on the top if the pages were stuck together lol

[@dizdozable]

😲

[@berrybread7215]

“I’m not petty, famously.” Beautiful delivery.

[@tarap6161]

have literallly always wanted to know if it was good bc I also couldn't argue with joey's "custard good, jam good, beef goood", thank you for doing this so i didnt have to lol

[@DanLayton]

I did science for everyone x

I think this proves 1 out of 6 people will love it, and everyone else will say no. Lol

The way Hazel reacted like Ross, and Dodie reacted like Joey

[@seopark7467]

man i've really missed just seeing these friends have silly fun with one another

[@krose6451]

4:09 thank you for pointing out that its a cottage pie. Here in the US regardless of meat it ends up getting called a shepherds pie and it drives me nuts. The naming for shepard verses cottage is cute, its easy to remember, but everyone ignores it.😢

[@AfricanPrincess2006]

I've low-key wanted to become friends with you IRL for years to sample your baking/cooking on the regular .... Suddenly I'm so glad we've never met 😆

[@adeana_]

thx for giving me something to watch while i hide from my family in my room lol

nvm this made me nauseous

[@kat_the_mouse]

same. why are people?

[@katiebrobst6901]

"I'm not fussy, famously" The sharp "HA" that just escaped me echoed through my apartment

[@JessMcHiels]

I could see a part of you die when you'd assembled 50% of a really nice dessert and you were about to add the beef, peas and onions to it. But I respect the commitment to the bit and the #content.

[@zoieorth1424]

Amazing, can't believe you've never done this before. Everything about this was so on-brand and absolutely wonderful.

[@anna-maymoon1001]

As someone who has also made custard from scratch I felt the "uuugghhh" at the idea of it and the "omg this is perfection LOOK AT MY CUSTARD" bc it's a bugger to make but when you do it right you're like The Spirit of Bake Off Has Blessed Me, I AM R E A D Y

[@una_10bananas]

Would love a whole series of making stuff from TV shows and films

[@Minififi94]

As a scientist I appreciate your contribution to this fundamental question and I hope you get the recognition you deserve for your work

A reminder that dodie loves bananas and pesto so I do NOT trust her taste buds 😂

Of all of the wild and chaotic things you’ve done, this is the most wild and chaotic.

dodie: the Joey of the British KZbin Universe

[@slowdancers]

Hazel being Monica and Dodie being Joey to your Chandler was not the revelation I quite expected to see but I love it xx

[@GreenWolfDen]

Dodie is Joey. Confirmed.

[@Zoewrath]

Jam and meat makes me think of IKEA meatballs. It's the banana layer that really doesn't work in my mind

[@glimmeringshard]

Hahaha you had the Ross and the Joey reaction from Hazel and Dodie respectively

[@annamonson212]

As someone who struggles to remember to feed herself an appropriate amount and variety of food, my body might just be immensely satisfied with the immediate and efficient contents of a beef trifle and I might love it

[@anakinjames]

i’m not at all surprised that you fed this to hazel and dodie

[@margaretvw]

this might genuinely be my favorite thing you've ever made - the sheer delight you have in making these discoveries is fantastic, live your Friends dreams

[@flobba696]

I wonder what other film/sitcom based food monstrosity Dan can subject Hazel and Dodie to?

[@_willow_dino_]

Seeing everyone together again makes me feel 15 again I missed these !

[@jaybehkay2438]

Dan losing it while looking at the layer of beef sauted with peas and onions is fantastic

[@MattEvuns]

Realising I haven't seen you lot together in far too long. Your chemistry is still on top form!

Just finished my annual Friends Thanksgiving Episodes Marathon and I didn't know what to do with myself so I get on KZbin to find this perfectly timed masterpiece, thank you!!

[@ellameyer742]

I need you to know that the ad that played before this was for a psychic consultant and that set the entire mood for this utterly perfect video

This made my evening. I especially loved the passionate psyching yourself up as you prep it. Amazing work!

[@alissa6380]

actually dear sir, while the trifle is indeed an iconic friends moment, when you say specifically "iconic *thanksgiving* episode" my mind goes straight to monica with her head in a turkey pushing sunglasses onto it

[@DanLayton]

That’s next year

[@BBXcompany]

feeding your friends the friends trifle is the only true "which friend from friends are you?" personality test you'll ever need. we found out that Dan is rachel, Hazel is ross, and Dodie is joey

[@lifeasnikki]

I've always been curious to taste Rachel's trifle too, thank you for making it!

[@rach6788]

This was literally great. Your personality in an entire video. Strong work.

[@alissa6380]

10:24 i love it when hazel says "welcome to baking with dan" and dodie goes "*missing.exe* rebrand?" like yes that absolutely *does* sound weird at this point (also i love how hazel keeps talking while dan explains the sitch in the background)

[@RamenLlama]

tradition to watch this every year i'd love to try this but my housemates would never allow such an experiment

[@holycrocs3670]

how ive missed "if its not real, its not right"

This was an awesome experiment, beef trifle truly looks like one of those oddly tasty things(like a PB&J burger) I really want to try making it myself now except I'm also a supertaster, and Hazel's reaction makes me worry a bit

[@Silver1226]

Thank you, this was everything ❤

[@PlumberryPuppet]

My takeaway is Dodie is Joey. And Hazel is too Irish to enjoy an English trifle.
